When Gao Lan, Wei Yan and others came over, Li Tiao was painting stars on his war horse. If this guy kills an internal Qi separated body, he will paint a star on it, and if they join forces to kill an internal Qi separated body, they will
A hollow star.
To be honest, there were quite a few people who died at Li Tiao's hands.
"We didn't come up because you were doing it. After all, our tactics are not the same. If we go up, we might not be helping." Wei Yan waved in the direction of Li Tiao and Xue Shao. They all knew them.
They are all acquaintances.
"No need, the other party used to disperse the formation before, which happened to be our food. If you join, it will be a bit troublesome."
time."
"The road here is a bit unexpected, and there are some secrets in it. I have to be cautious. After walking this time, it is basically confirmed that there is no way to march on a large scale from the north. It is basically certain that we must start from the north.
If the north attacks Kushan, they can only choose the Kabul Valley and then attack the Kabul Pass." Sima Yi sighed and said.
"It's similar to Military Advisor Chen's judgment." Xue Shao nodded and said, "Commander Chen also said that he would need a senior official to come in person and lead a team to march all the way from the Kabul Valley and attack along the valley.
Khyber Pass.”
Sima Yi was thoughtful after hearing this, but did not speak to Xue Shao. He just nodded and asked them to collect the prisoners, and then a group of people released scouts on the spot and buried pots for cooking.
About two hours later, Chen Gong and others rushed over. Unfortunately, there were also many infantrymen in the Han army, so they had to take care of their marching speed.
After the two sides joined together, the Han army's military strength expanded a lot, and Chen Gong dragged Sima Yi to the camp. Some things should be confirmed. After all, this thing is largely related to his overall strategy.
"It seems that Military Advisor Chen already knows the result!" Sima Yi said with a somewhat uneasy expression. In his opinion, Zhuge Liang didn't even tell him, but actually told Chen Gong.
"Oh, you mean the soldiers of Beigui? Don't worry, Zhuge Kongming didn't tell me this. I knew it a long time ago. If you get serious about this kind of problem, you should know it at a glance." Chen Gong deliberately said in a heart-piercing way.
His tone gave Sima Yi a blow.
Sima Yi looked at Chen Gong in confusion. After a while, he finally determined that Chen Gong was not joking and that this guy really came to his own conclusion.
"You should know about my spiritual talent. After all, I have saved up my intelligence for two years, reached the extreme level, and solved all the unclear problems in about a quarter of an hour." Chen Gong said half-heartedly, but
This tone made Sima Yi even more uncomfortable.
In fact, this matter is not that simple. Chen Gong opened up the limits of his own intelligence and saw some clues, and then relied on these clues to deduce it bit by bit.
After all, Beigui has buried these things for a hundred years. The wise man who founded the country really regarded it as a century-old plan. Even if Chen Gong directly opened it to the peak of mankind, it would not be easy to solve it, but after all, it was
The limit that humans can bear, as long as there are traces, don't even try to hide them.
Needless to say, the result was that the extreme talent had been activated. Chen Gong didn't care about talking for a few minutes. He simply relied on the existing information to piece together the entire reality bit by bit, and came to that shocking conclusion.
"I traveled along the Beigui Mountains and encountered a total of seven military camps." Sima Yi sighed and said, "Beigui must have millions of regular soldiers. This is definitely the pre-Qin military system, otherwise
, it is completely impossible to raise so many soldiers."
"A million, it's okay, it's still within the scope of speculation." Chen Gong felt a lot more relieved after hearing this, and then he flipped through it and quickly took out a copy of the information he had prepared at that time and handed it to Mao and Sima Yi. After all, he couldn't do it often.
It is the ultimate state of human intelligence, so in order to save money, Chen Gong usually makes plans.
Even though the plan will inevitably have some omissions, the plan written under those circumstances is undoubtedly executable.
Sima Yi looked at the plan handed over by Chen Gong with an expressionless face, and couldn't help but think about Chen Gong, this old pervert!
"There is no doubt that we must start a full-scale war with the Kushans and gradually distract the Kushans. Only in this way can we obtain a one-hit kill and defeat the Kushans at a faster speed." Chen Gong sighed and said,
"Actually, the people we have here are just a tentative force, not even a containment force."
Mao looked at the plan, and then slowly looked up at Chen Gong. He had to admit that Chen Gong's departure was indeed a loss to Cao. Under normal circumstances, Chen Gong's significance was indeed not great, but when it came to attacking difficulties,
The value of Chen Gong is really reflected.
"Beijing's huge military strength is actually maintained entirely by the support of the southern Brahmins. What we have to think about now is how high the cost is for the Brahmins to maintain such a strength. If the cost is high, what is our most correct way?
Let the white horse go in, kill, burn, loot, and destroy the granaries." Chen Gong directly gave the final conclusion.
"The advantage of this is that our own pressure is not great, and the white horse is very fast and can come and go freely in the essence of Kushan. In theory, as long as Kushan does not build a beacon tower that can quickly convey orders, it is basically impossible to block it
White Horse, and even if the beacon tower is built, if White Horse only destroys it, it can still cause considerable losses." Chen Gong pointed to a certain plan.
In fact, the problem now is that Chen Gong is not sure about the situation of the Brahmins in the South. He has never been there and has no way to verify whether the cost of the Brahmins in the South to support the Beigui is high or low.
Just like when we look at the annual coins given by the Song Dynasty to Liao, Xixia, and Jin, they gave 255,000 silver silk to Xixia, 300,000 pieces of silk to Liao, and 200,000 taels of silver to the following Jin.
Three hundred thousand pieces of cloth, two hundred thousand taels of silver, and one million coins.
The scale of this year's coin is enough for the three countries that take the money to eat and drink well. This scale combined even accounts for one-tenth of the finances of the Han Dynasty during the normal period. Although the five baht coins in the Han Dynasty were more valuable,
But that’s roughly the scale.
The problem is that there was nothing else in the Song Dynasty, but there was still money. Take a look at what is recorded in the "History of Food and Goods in the Song Dynasty". In the second year of Zhiping, the internal and external income was 116,138,450, and the output was 100 million.
Two thousand three hundred and forty-three thousand one hundred and seventy-four, and the extraordinary one is one thousand one hundred and fifty-two thousand one thousand two hundred and seventy-eight. This year, the total accumulation of all roads is one hundred and sixty-two million two hundred and ninety-two thousand.
Ninety-three, but the capital was not prepared.
The unit of calculation of this income is Min, which is often called Guan. When converted into the unit of measurement of money, it is multiplied by a thousand. Then if you think back to the Sui coins of the Song Dynasty, you will probably have a feeling that this is sending beggars away. 100%
If you can buy peace without a surplus, why go to war?
Although this thinking is wrong, from the perspective of the Song Dynasty, it is still reasonable.
This is why when the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty negotiated peace, the Song Dynasty paid the Liao Dynasty 300,000 pieces of silk and 200,000 taels of silver every year.
The bottom line given by Song Zhenzong was to multiply the above number by three, but it only took one-third to settle the matter. Can you be dissatisfied?
The same is true of Chen Gong's current thinking. If it is very difficult for Brahmin to support Beigui, then large-scale destruction will help Brahmin turn to the Han Dynasty. But if Brahmin's support to Beigui is equivalent to sending away beggars, then large-scale destruction will not make Brahmin
Falling towards the Han Dynasty may also cause the Brahmins to follow the Northern nobles in unison with the outside world.
Because the former is in internal and external troubles, and the Yueshi have been exploited for many years, it is natural for the Brahmins to have resentments and turn to the Han Dynasty. But if it is the latter, the Brahmins are completely sending away the Yueshi like beggars, so destructive attacks
, it is very likely that it did not harm Bei Gui's interests, but made the Brahmin crazy.
Although it was just a matter of Brahmins going crazy, and the Han Dynasty didn't care, in the current situation, it was better to choose a plan that saves trouble.
"Although it is not a matter of sending away the Yueshi, as far as I know, it is not difficult for the southern Brahmins to support the Northern Gui. After all, the Northern Gui has some output, although it is not much, but the vast majority of ordinary people still support themselves. Purely
The only ones who need food are the soldiers of Beigui." Sima Yi sighed and said, he had an impression of this part.
"Well, I know this too. Beigui has a ranch in the mountainous area. I've heard of this." Mao nodded, echoing Sima Yi's answer.
"The population of the Brahmins in the South is about 40 million. In fact, the cultivated land area may be larger than that of the Han Dynasty. But one thing is very important. Although the farming method of the Brahmins in the South is very rough, due to climate and soil quality, it is actually
Our yield per mu is higher than in previous years." Sima Yi said with a distressed look on his face.
Chen Gong's expression turned ugly as he listened. As long as this was true, it would be difficult to achieve the desired results if large-scale destruction was chosen.
"However, this is not the most important thing. What is important is that due to climate and soil fertility issues, our land cannot cultivate continuously and needs to take turns. Here, we can actually plant three crops a year. This is why southern Brahmins even plant their own crops.
The reason why our land is abandoned is that as long as the other party is serious about it, we can produce more than three years of food in one year and be rich!" Sima Yi said helplessly, these contents were sent to him by someone sent by Sima Zhang.
Chen Gong was stunned when he heard this. If there was such a result, Chen Gong felt deeply that he could understand why the Brahmin would choose to make peace with Dayue clan. Isn't it just to pay for food?
